GOD HAS MARVELOUS PLANS FOR US

Back in the late 70s and 80s, I was involved in various ways with movie, radio, and TV projects. My voice-over work took place in the early 90s. Then when my novel-writing career was taking off, these projects dwindled away.

I learned a long time ago that God has seasons for our lives, and I've enjoyed watching Him take me through various seasons. So when the media things faded away, I moved joyfully into the next season.

Late last year, God brought movie work back into my life. I am the screenwriter for the Christian movie Abducted to Killwhich should release next year. I almost laughed when the producer contacted me.

Here I was a 69-year-old woman, and God was bringing a major movie project to me. I will be 71 years old in November. So often as we grow older, we think that our time of making a difference in the world is slipping away. But I don't believe that God is finished with us until He calls us home to heaven. And I'm glad. Being used in a special way is exciting.

Has God brought a major change in your life recently?

Were you excited ... or did you think you couldn't do it?

I hope you grabbed onto the new thing with all your heart and moved forward with gusto. That's what I'm doing.

I'm sure happy for you too, Lena, and I love your positive attitude. Thanks for the encouragement. With my book deal pushed back a year, I have been wondering where things are headed. Guess I need to hold onto my faith and keep putting one foot in front of the other. Or one word behind the other!
